LOS ANGELES-- WebMessenger, an award-winning leader in enterprise mobile communications, today announced that its WebMessenger Mobile™ for Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) solution now supports Nokia smartphones leveraging the S60 mobile platform from Symbian. Businesses utilizing the popular Microsoft unified communications platform can extend the same functionality to mobile professionals, stimulating previously unattainable collaboration worldwide and throughout Europe, where Nokia S60 devices are a leader in the enterprise market. WebMessenger Mobile for Microsoft OCS on Nokia S60 devices will be on-display this week at the S60 Summit in Barcelona, Spain, in the Nokia booth.

“The European business market is in need of mobile unified communications solutions,” said Mark Blowers, Enterprise Architectures Practice Director for Butler Group. “Nokia S60 smartphones have achieved excellent penetration in the region. With the adoption of Microsoft OCS in Europe also increasing, there is the potential for European businesses to enhance productivity among the growing distributed mobile workforce. ”

Microsoft OCS manages all real-time (synchronous) communications including instant messaging, VoIP, audio and video conferencing. Microsoft OCS also powers presence, a key benefit of Microsoft unified communications that unites all the contact information stored in Active Directory with the ways people communicate. WebMessenger Mobile for Microsoft OCS extends similar functionality to Nokia S60 devices, enabling mobile professionals to achieve the same collaboration and productivity opportunities in the field that they experience in the office. Additional benefits include reduced operational expenses and increased workplace appeal for tech-savvy, younger recruits. WebMessenger Mobile for Microsoft OCS was the recipient of the best enterprise application award in the 2008 AT&T Fast-Pitch competition at a recent mobile industry event.

“Forum Nokia is happy to support WebMessenger’s global rollout of the OCS solution for Nokia S60 devices,” said Eric John, Director of Marketing, Forum Nokia. “It’s great to see a Forum Nokia PRO developer like WebMessenger advancing mobility and communications through their innovative solution.”

“As a Forum Nokia PRO member we are excited to work with Nokia in addressing an important problem for European businesses,” said Val Babajov, Founder and CEO of WebMessenger. “Microsoft and Nokia laid much of the groundwork for enterprise mobile communications by raising awareness for their OCS and S60 products, respectively. Adoption has increased steadily throughout Europe, as businesses aim to capitalize on the benefits of collaboration and mobile communications. WebMessenger bridges the gap between Microsoft OCS and Nokia smartphones, enabling customers to maximize their return on both products, while increasing productivity across the enterprise.”
